alright, i've been using gnome for a while now, and with word that slack is soon gonna be dropping gnome i decided to give flux a go, i got fooling around with different themes and with transparencies and such when i realized that certain themes weren't working due to not having the fonts installed, so i grabbed the 3 artwiz-aleczapka fonts, artwiz-aleczapka-de-1.3/-en-1.3/-se1.3, upon following directions in the readme's, i unpacked all 3 fonts, and then did a "fc-cache -fv ./" in all 3 directories, after that i then added my FontPath to my xorg.conf directory, but the next step is where i'm having difficulties, i added the following to /etc/fonts/local.conf

thats when i get a "Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 2: junk after document element

so i was wondering if i did something wrong in the local.conf file, if so what do i need to add/change, any help is appreciated, thx

(*btw, the coded section is all that is contained in my local.conf file, i googled and found nothing, i'm hoping its as simple as just having to add something)

I think you don't have to put :unscaled at the end, anyway, putting them in ~/.fonts will automatically include them since that directory is checked on fonts.conf.

okay so if i want them to be used globally, put the font directories under /root/.fonts?

bump, all i have to do is put font folders under /root/.font?

No, if you want them globally put them in /usr/X11/lib/fonts/local
This directory isn't in xorg.conf as default so you have to add to it.
IE:
"/usr/X11/lib/fonts/local" is actually a symlink to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local"

Oh and if you create /etc/fonts/local.conf file be sure that you put this at the beggining:
and this at the end:
Maybe you forgot about that and that's why it was telling you there was an error in the config file.

The insertion of the !DOCTYPE and fontconfig tags (?xml was there already) worked for me when I had similar errors on dvdrip (Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 5: junk after document element)

Thanks!
